Summary: A secret is revealed.
Jun twitched for the nth time that morning. If this kept on going, his veins might pop. He and Aiba were the only one in Arashi’s dressing room, and Aiba was running around the room like crazy.
“Aiba, what are you doing?” Matsujun asked.
Aiba looked at Jun. “What does it look like? I’m cleaning the room.”
“And why are you cleaning it?” Jun put his hands on his hips.
Aiba, still carrying the box filled with papers, stared at Jun. 1 minute passed…5 minutes…10 minutes…and then, he answered, “I don’t know.”
If looks could kill, Aiba would be burn right now. “Why did you keep me in suspense, Aibaka?!”
Aiba smiled sheepishly. “Hehehe, gomen, ne?”
Jun walked to Aiba and smacked him on the head. “Baka!” he said, but smiling inwardly.
That was the scene that Sho saw when he arrived to their dressing room. “Ohayou,” he said.
Aiba and Jun looked at Sho. “Ohayou,” Jun greeted back, while Aiba said energetically and cheerfully, “Ohayou, Sho!”
Sho smiled as he walked in and took a sit next to Jun. Aiba had returned to his chore. Sho whispered to Jun. “What’s Masaki doing?”
“Cleaning the room,” Jun answered. He turned on his iPod and began reading his book. A few days ago, Jun had become interested in books. The other four Arashi members didn’t know the reason for Jun’s new hobby.
Sho turned his attention to Aiba again. He smiled. He felt very bad, lying to Aiba, the one he truly love, but he had promised not to say a word to anyone, and that includes Aiba.
“Itai!”
Sho was suddenly snapped out of his thought. Aiba was on the floor, so was the box, and the papers inside scattered on the floor. Sho immediately ran to Aiba. “Masaki, you should be more careful,” he said as he helped Aiba collect all the papers.
Aiba just gave Sho a smile. “I’m alright.”
“But if you’re not careful, you might hurt yourself, or someone else.”
They stood up after they collected everything and put it in the box. Aiba, cheerful and bouncy as usual, said, “I won’t.”
“But you could, if you’re not careful,” Sho told his lover.
“It’s fine, really,” Aiba said. He happily skipped to the other side of the room. As Aiba was whistling away happily, he didn’t see Ohno, who just entered the room.
“Aiba, watch out!”
Aiba had collided with Ohno. Both of them fell to the floor.
“Ohno!” Sho yelled out, going to their leader’s side immediately. He helped Ohno up. “Riida, are you okay?” Sho glared at his lover. “Masaki, I told you to be careful!” he yelled. But Sho immediately regretted his action when he saw Aiba’s teary eyes. He didn’t know why he snapped at Aiba, he really didn’t mean it.
“Sakurai! What do you think you’re doing?!” Nino yelled out of the blue. He immediately went into the dressing room. He saw Aiba and Ohno collide into one another earlier on. His instinct was to go to Ohno immediately, but Sho beat him to it. Sho’s action flickered something in Nino. Anger. After snapping at Sho, Nino immediately went to his best friend’s side, and helped him up. He glared at Sho. “What do you think you’re doing, Sakurai?! It was an accident, so why are you blaming Aiba?!”
“I-…”
Aiba put a hand on Nino’s shoulder. “It’s okay, Nino,” he said. “I’m fine,” he gave Nino a smile. But Nino knew Aiba better. He knew that inside, Aiba was sad that Sho yelled at him. And on top of that, Sho ran to Ohno first.
“Sho, it’s okay,” Ohno said. “I’m not hurt or anything, so…apologize to Aiba-chan.”
“Are you sure?” Sho asked without thinking.
“Argh!!!” Nino threw his sling bag to the floor. “What’s going on between both of you?!”
Sho, Aiba and Ohno looked at Nino with a surprised look. Even Jun had stopped reading and took off his earphone.
“What are you talking about, Kazu?” Ohno asked.
“I saw both of you, last night,” Nino said. His eyes were filled with anger, hurt, and betrayal. “I can’t believe you lied to me, ‘Toshi.”
“I-Is that true, Sho?” Aiba asked. Sho looked away, unable to meet Aiba’s eyes. The taller man knew what it meant. Sho really did lie to him last night.
“Masaki, I-…”
“Save your breath, Sakurai!” Nino said. He grabbed Aiba’s hand and dragged him out of the room.
“Kazu!” Ohno yelled out but Nino ignored him.
“Masaki…” Sho said, watching Aiba and Nino walked away from the dressing room.
Suddenly, Ohno hugged his stomach in pain. “Sho…”
“I’ll take you to the clinic,” Sho said. He put Ohno’s hand around his neck to support the older man. At the same time, Jun did the same thing. Sho looked at the younger member, surprised. Sho had completely forgotten that Jun was still there.
“I’ll help you take riida to the car,” Jun said.
“Thank you, Jun,” Sho said.
“Ah!” Ohno gasped in pain.
“Hold on, riida, we’ll be there soon,” Jun said. It took them about five minutes to take Ohno to Sho’s car.
“Are you coming?” Sho asked when Jun didn’t enter the car.
“No, we have to film Utaban later,” Jun answered. “Someone needs to explain both your disappearance.”
“You’re…not going to ask anything?” Sho asked.
“Riida will tell me when he’s ready,” Jun, said. “Now, take riida to the hospital, it looks like he’s still in pain.” Sho nodded his head and immediately drove away.
----------------------------------
“It’s good that you brought him here immediately, Sho,” Yuuki said.
“Yuuki-senpai, is Ohno going to be okay?” Sho asked. He looked at the sleeping Ohno on the patient’s bed.
Yuuki smiled. “There’s nothing to worry about,” she said. “The fall didn’t do any harm to the baby. His uterus was stretching is the cause of the cramps. His body is preparing for the new baby.”
“Thank goodness,” Sho said. After awhile, he said again, “It’s still weird when you actually said out loud that riida has an uterus.”
Yuuki smiled. “That’s the seven wonders of life.” Then, she looked at Sho seriously. “However, Sho, stress is not good for the baby. I think, from what you’ve told me earlier, Ohno-kun might be stressed out about that.”
“Yeah,” Sho said grimly. He can’t forget the tone Nino used, the way he called his name and most importantly, the hurt in Aiba’s voice.
“Luckily, there’s no one here right now, or you might cause a ruckus,” Yuuki joked.
Sho smiled. “Yeah.”
----------------------------------------
“I can’t believe he would lie to me,” Aiba said between sobs. They were on the rooftop of the jimusho building. “Sho-…Sho loves me. He’d never do that to me.”
“I know, Aiba-chan,” Nino said. “But he did, he and Satoshi.”
“Sho’s not the kind to cheat on me,” Aiba said. With teary eyes, he looked at Nino, “Why?!”
